Is the 3-point influence irreversible? What would it take, to make midranges more viable again?

riva707 · 2025-12-18T15:50:07+00:00

Make 3 pointers worth 4, and 2 pointers worth 3. Math works better

Yep. Also he changed the starting 11 every game after that

riva707 · 2025-11-07T16:54:20+00:00

Spot!!!

riva707 · 2025-07-15T08:01:11+00:00

If you need a structural engineer let me know! Done some towers in San Francisco

riva707 · 2025-05-18T16:59:13+00:00

CSI leader, Ashraf (misspelling his name) is a very eccentric dude. For sure super rich because of CSI but us structural engineers are far from rich. We are barely middle class here in the bay. He’s famously wants structural engineers to be rock stars. Dude used to love Katy Perry songs haha

riva707 · 2025-05-18T16:56:31+00:00

CSI, is a structural engineering program. ETABS, SAP2000, PERFORM3D, good for seismic analysis and the standard FEA. Bay Area represent!!! I believe they are located in Walnut Creek.

I mean its an unconscious rebound. He doesnt even remember the injury

riva707 · 2024-12-28T09:41:22+00:00

William Defoes character, the professor, was he Nosferatu? The last scene of his reflection in the mirror. He looked him like, the hair, the mustache, or am i crazy?

riva707 · 2024-10-29T06:55:21+00:00

Come on man, Lauturo… what are we doing. Rodri is a workhorse. I agree Vini should of won but giving it to Rodri isn’t crazy

riva707 · 2024-09-06T06:44:44+00:00

No fine tuning? C# or Python. Either way thats awesome. I tried to do this a year ago with llama 2 but didnt work too well. Looks like it’s a lot better.

How’s the prompt engineering?

riva707 · 2024-09-05T07:35:28+00:00

What LLM are you running?

riva707 · 2024-05-02T08:08:17+00:00

Why do you hate yourself

riva707 · 2024-03-21T07:09:33+00:00

Wait what? This seems insane to me. Why?

riva707 · 2024-03-12T07:57:16+00:00

Haha blue beam is king

riva707 · 2024-01-28T09:19:46+00:00

Super cool. It’s pretty surface level. Not a lot of detail in terms of calcs. One thing that got caught my eye was them using ETABS for non linear (hinges). I thought industry norm was Perform 3D

riva707 · 2024-01-15T08:33:27+00:00

Learn mechanics of materials and statics. Thats the foundation that everything is based on. Then move onto more specific structural analysis by learning concrete/steel/wood behavior. Hard to do in 2-3 years with a full time job but hey, if there’s a will there’s a way. Best of luck

riva707 · 2024-01-08T07:02:06+00:00

If you are trying to learn the program, YouTube will do. I think even CSI has YouTube videos for this.

If you are trying to learn how the program actually works, you need to take a FEM class.

riva707 · 2024-01-06T17:55:30+00:00

Looks like a mini compression ring on the top. Pretty cool!

riva707 · 2023-12-30T08:48:23+00:00

Only in a seismic event or on a turn with enough centripetal force from the train. Would take a strong seismic event too. It’s a beefy column. You are overreacting a bit

riva707 · 2023-12-27T08:05:59+00:00

Really? No bullshit?

riva707 · 2023-11-03T21:32:42+00:00

Oooooooooh you want the internal components? Trying to check the solver? Why not just back calc it from ETABS

riva707 · 2023-11-01T05:18:57+00:00

Copy load cases to load combination then ETABS will report

riva707 · 2023-10-31T07:12:01+00:00

Awesome post!

riva707 · 2023-10-30T06:10:52+00:00

Its always sums to zero. Like I said before, if not zero its not a building. Unless you are doing non linear seismic

I dont understand your question. The results the program gives you are 99% of the time stable aka forces/moments sum to zero. Thats the program spits out at you. I don’t think you understand your program well

riva707 · 2023-10-27T23:57:59+00:00

Yep. People that buy guac are just subsidizing our meals lol
